Agree that the Pacifica ones are great, same for my prior Grand Cherokee.

Best may now go to my Rivian, truly feel the impact here in the swampy DC summers.

Had this in my IS, the only workaround that helped. Lots of complaints in the IS and GS forums about the poor cooling.

The only cars I've driven with actively cooled seats were GM products I've rented. Several Tahoes/Suburbans and an old Cadillac DTS. These use a Peltier cooler to chill the air being blown out the front seat, at the cost of giving rear seat passengers second degree burns on their knees.

I had an old DTS as a rental way back when and at max cold the seats were very frigid!. Great when first getting back into the car, but I had to back it down to level 1 shortly thereafter
